Description

Hi guys Gaby here: to get a feel how close we are, but we are 10 min from Times Square

Please don't be put off by this listing being outside of Manhattan. We are closer to Midtown Manhattan, Times Square, Theater District, Madison Square Garden, Grand Central Empire State Building, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center than staying in other parts of Manhattan (Wall St., Upper East or West Side, above 70s... We are closer than all parts of Brooklyn and definitely way closer than staying in Queens/Bronx).

Newly decorated private room in a three-bedroom house in Union City, NJ. Union City is on the other side of the Lincoln Tunnel and therefore very close (15 min. bus ride) to Port Authority/Times Square area. Private luxurious room with a queen-size bed nightstands, open spacious air and heat, beautiful hardwood floors and exquisite mahogany color to help you relax after a day of sightseeing and shopping or whatever you please; we will welcome you with open arms, take a bath or soak or shower makes you feel like you're bathing in the rain; a great kitchen balcony overlooking a beautiful reservoir. Hear your favorite music, eat a snack or whatever, this is what Robert & Gaby your hosts will provide for you. We will greet you as part of our family and for assistance; your privacy and accommodation will be our responsibility and our pleasure.

About the neighborhood:
The neighborhood is quiet and very nice, 100 steps from a family grocery to buy what you need. Walking distance to banks, pharmacy, and 15 minutes from midtown Manhattan (Time Square/Port Authority Bus Terminals). You'll reach Midtown faster from this location than from locations even located in Manhattan.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
* Located in Union City, NJ, a very short direct bus ride to Times Square area
* Five blocks from gorgeous Manhattan views (along Hudson River)
* Best 'cafe con leche' in town on corner. You'll wonder why you spend so much at Starbucks!
* Buses to Manhattan/Times Square run every minute during day, and every 4 minutes at night. Buses run all night.
* Great grocery and wine/liquor stores in the neighborhood including one right on the corner which is open until 11pm
* Very safe neighborhood, lots of great restaurants and bakeries but also very quiet at night.

TRANSPORTATION:
* Private buses (we call it 'chicken bus') run 24/7 and go directly to Manhattan's Midtown / Port Authority, one block away from Times Square for $2.50 a seat. It's what all the locals use.
* City bus runs every 12 minutes to Hoboken, home of the Cake Boss and every 20 minutes (during commute hours) into Manhattan.
* Easy city bus access to Jersey Garden Outlet Mall, much closer and as good as Woodbury Commons.

Great energy and very peaceful! Feel free to message me with any questions!

House rules

hi guys this is for the parking permit, in order for you to be able to park in the neighborhood without getting tickets for not being a resident. This is a complimentary pass. We charge a deposit for the mere reason that the parking permits cost money and some guests don't return them.

Also this is only for legal parking; you must be vigilant of clean-sweep days or places like yellow lines where you will be summonsed for which we won't be responsible for any ticket given to you, other than residential which you won't get while exhibiting your pass in window. thank you

Reviews for this host's other properties

We had a great holiday with the most beautiful weather. We did enjoy the little garden alot where we were able to sit all five of us.
In house that´s impossible. There are only one couch for two persons and one couch for three. And one toilet is not much if you want to be ten persons in the house. That's not recommendable. It is hard to believe the house is 150 square meters.
It cost USD 3.0 or 3.5 with the bus per person to Manhattan one way. It's very easy though.
Don´t take a taxi from JFK airport to this apartment, it is to expensive and the trafic is horible. But the way with train, subway and bus is too long. Find another airport if you want to stay in New Jersey.

We did have a good time exploring New York from the appartment of Gabriela. The appartment is situated in a very quiet and nice neighborhood and we also were able to park our car in front of the appartment. It only takes 10 minutes by bus to get to port authority from where you easily can go anywhere in New York. The appartment is very clean, generously sized and you can use Wlan, TV, kitchen and utitities or sit in on the terrace. Gabriela is very friendly and supportive and helped us with all our questions and gave good recommendations. We can recommend a stay in the appartment. Thank you again Gabriela for your hostility!

Gabriella and her family are very lovely hosts. The accommodation is close to Manhattan (20-30 min to Times Square, depending on the traffic with bus nr. 123), bed room and bathroom (NYC vista!!!) were very clean and we could use a comfortable living room / balcony with down town NYC vista (That was great!).
It is indeed relaxing and calm after a busy day in NYC.
Don´t be afraid of the dog :-)

We had a really great time in Gaby's appartment. When we arrived she gave us an upgrade because there was a better room that was not hired yet! I can't tell how this appartment was but the upgrade was great! We've got a big suite just arround the block with our own bathroom and a big kitchen. Also great was our view from the balcony on the skyline of NYC! I would really recommand everybody that travels on a budget to hire this room or something else from Gaby.
The distance to NYC with bus #123 was not far. Just a 2 minute walk to the busstop and when you travel after rush hour you can be on Times Square in 20 to 30 minutes. Don't travel before 9:00 AM because then you can get stuck in traffic for more then 1 hour.
Thanks Gaby for all your help and your quick respond on all our questions and i will definitely book your room again when i come back to NYC!
